I thought the same thing. "show off you MOTO'S" thread

While removing the foil. Watch, That stuff will dice your fingers up. Wear some gloves because the foil is sharp. It is like working with razor blades. Also when reinstalling, make sure the tube don't tap against the power steering pump bolt. Mine almost had a hole in the tube from all the years of tapping.

Dan, you are right on making sure nothing rubs against something else. I watch that all the time. Been there, done that.

Good info.

Right or wrong and i don't do to often.
I spray around with simple green. Cold motor
Garden hose to bottom of my hot water tank hooked to my pressure washer (being careful here)
Use my air compressor to blow off wire connections, etc. And i leave hood up for a long time to let things dry up.. Then cross my fingers that she starts.
